To estimate **Net Debt / EBITDA** for 2022 using an S&P-style approach: 1. **EBITDA proxy** The annual report provides **Gross Profit / Margine Operativo Lordo**, which corresponds to EBITDA-like operating margin: - 2022 EBITDA = **€1,305,021,000** 2. **Debt components** Use financial liabilities as debt: - Other noncurrent financial liabilities = **€4,722,263,000** - Other current financial liabilities = **€619,418,000** Total reported financial debt: \[ 4,722,263,000 + 619,418,000 = 5,341,681,000 \] 3. **S&P lease adjustment** S&P generally treats operating leases as debt-like. The balance sheet provides right-of-use assets: - Right-of-use assets = **€90,397,000** As a practical approximation, add right-of-use assets as lease debt: \[ 5,341,681,000 + 90,397,000 = 5,432,078,000 \] 4. **Cash deduction** Deduct cash and cash equivalents: - Cash and cash equivalents = **€559,908,000** Net debt: \[ 5,432,078,000 - 559,908,000 = 4,872,170,000 \] 5. **Net Debt / EBITDA** \[ \frac{4,872,170,000}{1,305,021,000} = 3.7338 \] Rounded to two decimals, the estimated ratio is **3.73**. 3.73
